Digital Safety and Wellbeing Blog
At Alma, we work together with our families and children to promote digital safety and wellbeing for children of all ages. We have a group of parents/carers, who work together to explore ways that we can teach, promote and encourage families to think about their children's digital wellbeing and safety. They are known as our 'Digital Champions.'
We also have a group of twelve children - three children from each class in Key Stage 2 - who have been trained by 'Childnet' to work together to support their peers across the school in raising awareness about the importance of staying safe online. They are known as our 'Digital Leaders.'
